July 2026 Wedding - very happy with this private venue where we had the entire wedding: ceremony,…read morereception under tent and dancing space. We fell in love immediately with the venue. Tom (owner and operator) and his team had everything prepared and his list of vendors were super helpful! Tom has 3 meetings with you prior to the event to help make decisions and maintains the grounds beautifully. He provided everything we needed for a perfect day! Furniture, lighting, tent, bridal suite, sparklers and grooms room all included. But it is all outdoors - so we were lucky to have perfect weather! Tom is so calm, made sure the wedding day was perfect for us, everything went smoothly and he cleared everything for us after! Max 60 people and budget around $20,000 to have a wedding here just FYI, but definitely worth it! Extremely unique venue and hope to come again!

Getting married at Woodinville Lavender was an exceptional choice. The venue is so beautiful, we…read morefell in love right away. Our guests told us repeatedly how we picked the perfect venue. All of the details were thoughtfully chosen and the fields were just so beautiful. As part of getting married there, Tom handles all of the wedding details as the day-of planner, though his role goes so far beyond that. He brings his calm and skill to helping us pick vendors, coordinate details that we would have missed with those vendors, and then ensure the contracts look good. He had a schedule and process for ensuring everything was done by our wedding day, flexible enough to be curated to us. On the week of, he took on a lot of the finishing touches and last-second communication with the vendors so that we did not have to worry about. On the day of, he made sure all went smoothly and communicated with all of the vendors and guests where needed. All went smoothly and beautifully. We'd highly recommend Woodinville Lavender!

They were always ready to problem solve and made sure all our questions were answered. We appreciated how relaxed they were with the building and how willing they were to allow us to have our day how we wanted it. They don't require professional vendors or force you to use an in-house caterer, which saved us thousands in planning our day. The building and area itself are beautiful. We got tons of compliments on how beautiful the venue was. We can't recommend this place enough. Book your wedding here!

I was the DJ for a wedding at the River Valley Oasis recently, and I came away from the night so…read moreimpressed that I felt compelled to spread the word about how awesome this place is. Talk about a hidden gem! This is a wonderful riverside venue that is an up-and-comer for engaged couples - and the secret will be out soon! The hills of Granite Falls form the perfect backdrop for a large, outdoor wedding. And while the backdrop satisfies the aesthetic desires of engaged couples, every other accommodation comes courtesy of the River Valley Oasis staff. All afternoon and evening, nothing stood out more to me than their gracious, attentive service. James (the manager) and his crew took time to show me the venue and made sure I was well-prepared to take care of the couple. They were active throughout the day coordinating space, power, and extra supplies for all the vendors. The backyard area has a vast lawn, which is filled with log benches and other neat rural fixtures, including barn-roof cocktail areas and a rustic wooden swing that was perfect for wedding photos. The whole area is lined with neatly trimmed bushes and colorful flowers. The River Valley Oasis has a spacious, white tent in the back of the main grass lawn, with seating for 180. Around the corner from the main lawn, down a path of flowered arches is a beautiful garden. Right out of a movie, the area backs up directly to the stream for which the River Valley Oasis is named. Surrounded by flowers and trees, the garden is ideal for a dream romantic ceremony. The path to the garden also makes a processional and recessional aisleway. Despite its size, every inch of this space has a rural appeal that simply can't be beat. Both the Groom and Bridal suites are emblematic of the River Valley Oasis' unique charm. The bride and bridesmaids have an ornate, mirror-laden room near the front of the venue, while the groom and groomsmen have their own raised cabin (that was open-faced toward the river) to carouse in before the festivities! I highly recommend the River Valley Oasis -- it has it all!

I love the fact that you can bring your dog (or whatever animal you want) to their venue to be part of your ceremony!!

UNBELIEVABLE from start to finish!!!! My daughter and her fiance are low-key people (not "low-key"…read morelike my students misuse it; the old-fashioned low-key). They searched and searched for a place that matched their vibe and their pocketbook. And even though Sadie Lake was almost two hours from their home, it proved to be the perfect choice (well, except for the local dinosaur infestation). From Day 1, they' were in love with DeeDee. She offered lots of items for free that couples usually have to pay to rent or buy. Everything was all listed on her website so even those of us in other states could peruse. The location is so beautiful and the premises really felt quaint and homey, not formal and stuffy like some venues. And then there were things that no other venue offered, like the boat on the lake for some fantastic photos! I think the bonus was that it was probably the least expensive place they looked at. Deedee's not in it to make bank; she does it because she has a beautiful place that she wants others to enjoy on their special day. As the mother-of-the-bride, I'm not surprised that I thought it was the second best wedding I've been to (don't I have to pick my own as #1), but soooo many guests told me they felt the same way. I can't imagine a reason why you wouldn't pick this location!!

We got married at Sadie Lake and everything was absolutely perfect. Leading up to the wedding,…read moreDeeDee was always quick to answer and allowed us to come out many times to walk around the venue. The inventory was amazing and we didn't have to buy hardly any wedding decor which saved us a bunch of time and money.

Small parking lot, but big views at this park on the waterfront! Went there for a wedding and…read moreenjoyed the view almost more than the bride and groom. Available to have weddings on the lawn facing the water, you see hawks and eagles in the distance, and water-based aircraft taking off in the background. Quite the spectacle. The indoor facility is a little dated and shaped weirdly with support beams also serving as trip points. Still, it has charm. The food was catered from an outside vendor, so looks like you can bring all the outside needs you have! Only wish they had a larger parking lot. I had to park across a four lane road and 'frogger' across. See if you younger folks get the reference!

We've been members for 20 years and love the civic club for its beauty and the way it brings our…read morecommunity together. It's a wonderful place to swim and relax and see our neighborhood friends at the lake. Some new staff over the past few years have soured the experience some and it's simply heartbreaking. At $400/year with an additional $365 fee (for a repair that has yet to happen) you'd think that they'd be kinder to members: willing ask questions to find out more information, give members the benefit of the doubt or simply just speak to them kindly. But no, several times these new staff members have been aggressive, combative and simply unkind. Especially so to my teenager, a rule following card carrying member. Every time she comes by, she gets yelled at and told that she's not following the rules, which seem to change from person to person, day to day. It's just too bad when something you've adored for so long and was once a place of peace is now a place where entitled staff consistently find new ways to be less than kind to their customers.

Sharon was all hands on deck with everything we could possibly want and or need.

This venue captures the simplistic beauty of a historical chapel while also highlighting the well thought out details that Sharon has put so much effort into.

This enchanting property boasts a charming patio with spacious seating, a serene pond, and lush gardens, all set amidst beautifully landscaped grounds that are home to delightful goats and alpacas, creating a truly magical experience. Its idyllic location makes for a truly fantastic experience, one that will leave you feeling uplifted and inspired. To indulge in a wine tasting, reservations are an absolute must. Our selection of five wines, which included a rose with remarkable depth and flavor, two crisp whites, a blended red and a rich red, were all expertly crafted and presented in elegant glasses bearing the winery's name, a testament to exceptional craftsmanship. The charcuterie tray was generously portioned for four people to savor, delighting our senses. What truly elevated our experience was the staff's profound knowledge and passion for the wines and the property's rich history, a true labor of love. We highly recommend visiting Chateau Lill for an unforgettable tasting experience, a leisurely stroll around the grounds, and a rejuvenating escape that will leave you feeling refreshed and renewed. Parking is plenty up the hill on the property.

First and foremost if you are familiar with DeLille wines, don't confuse that with this! There's…read morecommonality but that's it. This is a fun spot for outdoor tasting on a nice day and the Château is a very popular event venue; weddings in particular. The selection of wines are "collaborations" with local wine makers especially Sparkman and Gorman. So, you won't be served a DeLille wine. If you recognize these names you know the wines are good. A little pricey in my mind but that's subjective. I really enjoyed our two servers who were knowledgeable about the wines, of course but also the aspects of the collaborations. And, they didn't hesitate to offer suggestions when we asked about other wineries and tasting rooms we might visit. Why 4 stars instead of 5? Simply because the outdoor tasting facility is rather unrefined (graveled patio, temporary serving station/wine bar and trailer restrooms) due to the fact that it is under construction. I am not qualified to rate the wines.
